And we're back! Melanie and Joy's Caribbean Cricut vacation and "week after" recovery is over and we're so glad to be crafting again!

Welcome to today's fun boot scootin' easy card! I used the boot from the Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge and using the flip and weld feature on the Gypsy, I created a shaped card.

I set the size at 5" for the boot shadow layer and created the deep pink card layer. Then, using the boot layers, I made all the other parts. The card measures approximately 5" tall by 3" wide. It would make a really cute card to go on a gift bag also due to it's smaller size.

I love to use the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles folder to add texture to my cuts - especially things like balls, whales, fish and of course, these boots. By sanding some of the bubbles, I created an ostrich/leather like texture for the boots. Some gems and faux stitching finish things off.

I love, love, love this "Brave Girls" stamp set by Melody Ross for Unity Stamps (see HERE to buy them). How cute and inspiring is this message!

I so love how you put the texture on these cowgirl boots! Love the boy version on your blog too. Love the bling here! Saw a lot of little cowgirls at the Houston rodeo yesterday, and these boots are just as cute as the real-life ones!

Love, love, love the hot pink boot! I still need to play with my gypsy to figure out how to make a shape card by flipping and welding. By the way, that would make a great tutorial video if you have the time.

I LOVE THIS CARD!!!!!! The texture, it's PINK, the bling, all the little details! I must make this for my mother-in-law! I am so excited that you are sharing the Gypsy file!. . . . although I have trouble with my Gypsy when trying to use files I have uploaded :-(

Perfect card for BFF going thru a tough time. We used to frequent a popular dance spot in San Diego years ago & this card is going to LIFT her spirits right up!!! Cannot wait to make this! TFS, came at a perfect time!!! ChelleBelle akakweenbee_612@yahoo.com

Love the boot card....think you should add star for the spur :-)...when you say gypsy file to share...that mean we download it and it'll work on our gypsy? Cause I have a gypsy and never use it cause I don't know how :-( sonyagilley@yahoo.com

What a cute card. I'm going to have to scraplift the idea...my 3year old GS wanted cowboy boots for his birthday last week and when he got them he was thrilled and I was thinking I needed to do a layout with boots and here you go! Thanks so much for the inspiration.

I really like how you created a card from a single image. That is a technique I need to do a lot more. It was also really wonderful since I just got back from the Houston Rodeo. Thanks for the inspiration!
